Xcel Solar Rebate Update

$0 Down Solar Leasing Will Be Gone Soon—ACT NOW!

colorado-home August 26, 2010
Colorado State rebates pay for a significant portion of your solar system installation cost. If you’ve been thinking about going solar and are interested in taking advantage of Real Goods Solar’s affordable, zero-down leasing offer, you may want to hurry as leasing rebates are anticipated to drop soon!

According to Xcel Energy, solar incentives for leased systems will be decreasing by 36%. This means that the cost of an average (5 kW) system may increase by as much as $2,500. Solar Lease rebates are anticipated to drop before the summer’s end, within the next 2-4 weeks.

To lock in your rebate from Xcel, you’ll need to have a system designed for your home and sign a contract with Real Goods Solar before the drop. As long as the plans are finalized before the rebate goes down, you’re safe!
